The four projects funded under the first Peace-building Fund (PBF) allocation (US$6 million), entailing the refurbishment of military barracks, support to vocational training programmes, a youth employment programme and the rehabilitation of prisons, were concluded in March 2011. The final external evaluation of the first PBF allocation was finalized by the end of October 2011.

A new Peace-building Priority Plan 2011-2013 was finalized and approved on 21 July 2011 by the Peace-building Support Office (PBSO). Priority areas include the strengthening of democratic institutions and the rule of law, reform in the security institutions, the revitalization of the economy, and quick, multilevel impact of women's economic empowerment and the improvement of their working conditions.

The approval of the peace-building priority plan paved the way for the development of five (5) joint programmes involving the various UN agencies and UNIOGBIS in the areas identified in the plan.

The National PBF Joint Steering Committee approved two (2) joint programmes costing US$ 5 million to promote employment and revenue generation, as well as two (2) other joint programmes costing US$ 10 million in support of security sector reform and the strengthening of the internal security and justice systems.

The United Nations and the Government signed a National Peace-building Fund Grant Agreement for the allocation of US$2,803,738 to support security sector reform and the socio-economic reintegration of demobilized military and police personnel, and the first tranche of 40% was transferred to the Government on 25 February 2012.

Following the 12 April coup, the PBSO approved an allocation of US$390,000 to the FAO to enable the provision of seed distribution to 8,000 families, mostly female-headed households in rural areas.
